Thank you and thank you for watching.

Yes, I'd be happy to do that. I've had a look at it - not a tune I know. I'm away for most of this month so it might take a while for it to appear but I hope to have it up at some point in September.

I didn't include Rutter as I feel that's more of a choir arrangement of the hymn rather than one for a general congregation. Nice tune though.

You're welcome 😊

Absolutely fine, thank you for checking. Attribution much appreciated. Where abouts are you?

@@TheHymnChannel Thanks so much! Central Baptist Church, Walthamstow, London!

Danke !

@@TheHymnChannel sehr gerne ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for watching.

@@TheHymnChannel you are welcome dear friend ❤️❤️❤️

Hymns show how use of language can change over time

@@TheHymnChannel What I mean is, it is ironic to see so many references to Zion in a song that uses the same melody as the Nazi German national anthem.

Thank you. I actually live in Wales but sadly don't speak any of the language.

Thank you for watching. I have been really surprised since uploading this hymn as to how well known and popular it is.

Good luck with it. Let us know how you get on.

@@TheHymnChannel Ok.

Thank you and thanks for watching.

@@TheHymnChannel it's my pleasure. Happy weekend 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you. I didn't know this tune or hymn at all before recording it.

@@TheHymnChannel super 💖💖💖

Thank you and thank you for watching. Good luck with teaching it to them. We had a Brazilian priest with us on a placement at St Francis for a while.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for commenting

Which ones?

Thank you.

Certainly is. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching

Thank you, much appreciated. Not many chords in this hymn but no the less effective. Sometime simplicity is better in music.

@@TheHymnChannel Yes. When playing organ preludes at church I usually chose a very simple basic hymn, and then freely improvise with "themes and variations".

Thanks for watching and glad you like it. Let me know what you were thinking of and I can see if it's on the "to do" list for the future.

Hello, The hymn I am looking for is called River Wash Over Me 581 in Complete Mission Praise.

It works well on the organ which is not always the case with some of the Come and Praise hymns. I played this recently in a church for a licensing service. It is very uplifting when a few hundred people are singing along with your playing. Thanks for watching.

@@TheHymnChannel Thank you. It was amazing to hear my own church singing it! 😀

Thanks for watching and for your comments. I'm glad it brings back so many (hopefully good) memories. One of the reasons I started this channel was because I was amazed at the number of people who remembered the Come and Praise hymns from school days.

Thanks for watching. I've been really surprised at how popular this hymn is since uploading it. I didn't think it was very well known.

Thanks for watching and glad you like it.

Thanks for watching and glad you like. Have done a video of Great is Thy Faithfulness - link given below. Hope you like it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKukqox8j55qi5osi=cjHniIbEL5ottICS

Thanks for watching and glad you liked it.

Thank you.

Thank you !

A long play this one but very beautiful, I agree.

I didn't know this one at all until I was recently asked to play it at a service.

Good to have you back. Did you get my thank you e-mail ?

@@TheHymnChannel I did! Thank you!

Thank you, much appreciated.

Thank you for watching and for your kind comment. A great hymn played on an unusual organ. It makes a great sound but is sadly in a state of decline with more and more faults appearing on it and being largely irreparable.

That's really kind and much appreciated. Thank you.

Glad you like it. Thanks for watching.

I've never thought of using it there. What a good idea. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching and glad you liked it.

Thanks for watching. I couldn't agree more. There's another hymn I've uploaded to the channel that begins with six holys.

Same here almost - I first came across it going to Boys Brigade in the 1970s. Thanks for watching and glad you like it.

Thank you for asking and yes, that would be absolutely fine.

@@TheHymnChannel Thank you so much!

Thanks for watching and for the comments, Yes, it's a very unique organ. The church in which it is housed was destroyed by bombing in WW2. The church was being rebuilt in the early 1950s and at the same time a local cinema was wishing to dispose of its organ and kindly donated it to the church. I believe it is one of only two Christie organs that remain in regular public use in the UK. We tried to have it listed as an historic organ several years ago with a view to acquiring some funding to restore it but sadly our application was rejected.

Thank you for watching and for your comments. This is a hymn and hymn book that I remember us having to use at Sunday School which was also over 40 years ago. It's amazing how good hymns stick in the memory over time.

Thanks for watching

Thanks for listening. It's a great tune. I remember singing it at Boys Brigade parade services and that was about 45 years ago. It's amazing how these tunes stay with us for so long.

I’ve just found the dots for this. It’s in The Twentieth Century Hymn Book.

Yep, that's the book I play it from.

Thank you for watching and I agree. A great hymn.

Thank you for watching and for being interested in my playing. What would you like to use and how would you like to use it ?
